I probably would not be that aware that even took place.

Decades and decades ago, I had the PA announcer removed from a women's Div. I game because he would announce who committed the foul before either my partner or I even had reported the foul to the Table. The problem was this: He would do this whenever there was a foul was committed in the "paint" where there would be a group of players and he would always be wrong. The Head Coaches would listen to him and then get upset with my partner or me when we would report a different player. I told him to wait until we had reported the foul but he told me he could do whatever he wanted. To make matters worse we knew each other personally because he was the PA announcer at the Univ. of Miami's Mark Light Field. Needless to say, I did not lose any sleep over it.

Same problem in a high school game. I didn't have announcer removed, I just asked him to delay the announcement for few seconds until I reported the foul.

Hey Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: Why didn't you just take the megaphone away from him.
